10. Then innocent blood will not be shed in your land, which the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance, and blood guiltiness be on you.
11. But if any man hates his neighbor, and lies in wait for him, and rises up against him, and mortally strikes him, causing him to die, and flees to one of these cities,
12. then the elders of his city must send and fetch him from there, and deliver him to the hand of the avenger of blood, so that he may die.
13. Your eye must not pity him, but you must remove the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, so that it may go well with you.
14. You shall not remove your neighbor’s landmark, which they of old time have set in your inheritance, which you shall inherit in the land that the Lord your God is giving you to possess.
15. A single witness must not rise up against a man on account of any iniquity or any sin that he sins. At the testimony of two witnesses or at the testimony of three witnesses shall the matter be established.
16. If a false witness rises up against any man to testify against him to accuse him of doing wrong,
17. then both the men between whom the controversy is must stand before the Lord, before the priests and the judges, who are in office those days.
18. The judges will thoroughly investigate, and if the witness is a false witness and has testified falsely against his brother,
19. then you must do to him as he conspired to have done to his brother. In this way you must remove the evil from among you.
20. Those who remain will hear and fear, and will never again commit any such evil among you.
21. You must not show pity. But life will be for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
